I navigate with an iPhone 4s mounted in a powered cradle high up on the dash, with Google Maps app displayed, 99% of the time in straightforward North-is-up plan view. The traffic function is fairly reliable although it does occasionally report a tailback where non exists! Updating is frequent but laggy. That said, I know about 80% of the routes I'm taking by heart (I do 30k miles a year in southern England) and only have it on in case I need a shortcut around a local problem. I tried a Garmin type device once - it showed a vehicle-orientated point of view and told me to turn left and right etc - and that wa the last time I ever used it. I have successfully used iPhones to navigate in France and the USA, and wouldn't use anything else now.
